No
,
because
they
prevent
them
!

Good
.
I
must
note
that
,
"
said
the
reporter
.
"
Note
it
then
,
my
dear
Spilett
;
for
it
appears
proved
that
the
presence
of
the
eucalyptus
is
enough
to
neutralize
miasmas
.
This
natural
antidote
has
been
tried
in
certain
countries
in
the
middle
of
Europe
and
the
north
of
Africa
where
the
soil
was
absolutely
unhealthy
,
and
the
sanitary
condition
of
the
inhabitants
has
been
gradually
ameliorated
.
No
more
intermittent
fevers
prevail
in
the
regions
now
covered
with
forests
of
the
myrtaceae
.
This
fact
is
now
beyond
doubt
,
and
it
is
a
happy
circumstance
for
us
settlers
in
Lincoln
Island
.
"
"
Ah
!
what
an
island
!
What
a
blessed
island
!
"
cried
Pencroft
.
"
I
tell
you
,
it
wants
nothing
--
unless
it
is
--
"
"
That
will
come
,
Pencroft
,
that
will
be
found
,
"
replied
the
engineer
;
"
but
now
we
must
continue
our
voyage
and
push
on
as
far
as
the
river
will
carry
our
boat
!
"
The
exploration
was
therefore
continued
for
another
two
miles
in
the
midst
of
country
covered
with
eucalypti
,
which
predominated
in
the
woods
of
this
portion
of
the
island
.
The
space
which
they
occupied
extended
as
far
as
the
eye
could
reach
on
each
side
of
the
Mercy
,
which
wound
along
between
high
green
banks
.
The
bed
was
often
obstructed
by
long
weeds
,
and
even
by
pointed
rocks
,
which
rendered
the
navigation
very
difficult
.
The
action
of
the
oars
was
prevented
,
and
Pencroft
was
obliged
to
push
with
a
pole
.
They
found
also
that
the
water
was
becoming
shallower
and
shallower
,
and
that
the
canoe
must
soon
stop
.
The
sun
was
already
sinking
towards
the
horizon
,
and
the
trees
threw
long
shadows
on
the
ground
.
Cyrus
Harding
,
seeing
that
he
could
not
hope
to
reach
the
western
coast
of
the
island
in
one
journey
,
resolved
to
camp
at
the
place
where
any
further
navigation
was
prevented
by
want
of
water
.
He
calculated
that
they
were
still
five
or
six
miles
from
the
coast
,
and
this
distance
was
too
great
for
them
to
attempt
during
the
night
in
the
midst
of
unknown
woods
.
The
boat
was
pushed
on
through
the
forest
,
which
gradually
became
thicker
again
,
and
appeared
also
to
have
more
inhabitants
;
for
if
the
eyes
of
the
sailor
did
not
deceive
him
,
he
thought
he
saw
bands
of
monkeys
springing
among
the
trees
.
Sometimes
even
two
or
three
of
these
animals
stopped
at
a
little
distance
from
the
canoe
and
gazed
at
the
settlers
without
manifesting
any
terror
,
as
if
,
seeing
men
for
the
first
time
,
they
had
not
yet
learned
to
fear
them
.
It
would
have
been
easy
to
bring
down
one
of
these
quadramani
with
a
gunshot
,
and
Pencroft
was
greatly
tempted
to
fire
,
but
Harding
opposed
so
useless
a
massacre
.
This
was
prudent
,
for
the
monkeys
,
or
apes
rather
,
appearing
to
be
very
powerful
and
extremely
active
,
it
was
useless
to
provoke
an
unnecessary
aggression
,
and
the
creatures
might
,
ignorant
of
the
power
of
the
explorers
'
firearms
,
have
attacked
them
.
It
is
true
that
the
sailor
considered
the
monkeys
from
a
purely
alimentary
point
of
view
,
for
those
animals
which
are
herbivorous
make
very
excellent
game
;
but
since
they
had
an
abundant
supply
of
provisions
,
it
was
a
pity
to
waste
their
ammunition
.
Towards
four
o'clock
,
the
navigation
of
the
Mercy
became
exceedingly
difficult
,
for
its
course
was
obstructed
by
aquatic
plants
and
rocks
.
The
banks
rose
higher
and
higher
,
and
already
they
were
approaching
the
spurs
of
Mount
Franklin
.
The
source
could
not
be
far
off
,
since
it
was
fed
by
the
water
from
the
southern
slopes
of
the
mountain
.
